Resident scares off would-be burglar

Athens-Clarke police responded to an attempted burglary about 10 a.m. at a Sycamore Drive apartment after the resident scared off the burglar, according to a report.

The would-be thief entered through an unlocked front door, but ran after the 26-year-old resident confronted him, police said.

The resident described the suspect as an 18- to 20-year-old black man wearing black shorts and a white tank top. A second man also was seen fleeing outside the apartment, though the resident was unable to provide a description, according to the report.
